IN THE CASE OF AN ELCB, IF THERE IS ANY UNSTABILITY BETWEEN
PHASE AND NEUTRAL IT MAY TRIP. BUT MY QUESTION IS WHEN A
LOAD IS CONNECTED IN BETWEEN P AND N, THE LOAD CONSUMES SOME
POWER AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN NEUTRAL WITH RESPECT TO
THE PHASE. THUS ACCORDING TO ME, THE ELCB WILL AUTOMATICALLY
OPERATES WHEN EVER THE LOAD CONSUMES-- I KNOW IT IS WRONG.
BUT THE SOLUTION IS?????????



IN THE CASE OF AN ELCB, IF THERE IS ANY UNSTABILITY BETWEEN PHASE AND NEUTRAL IT MAY TRIP. BUT MY Q..

Answer / pillay

Maybe your understading of the elcb/ rccb is not true.Any load
consumed current is shared among the phases or and
newtral.that means what ever current that flows through the
elcb must flow out,there can be a difference only when there
is a loss, which means some of this current that had flowed
through are flowing out a different route,(leakage)if this
difference exceeds the trashold of the elcb/rccb than it
trips.

Dear sir, we are getting voltage fluctuations suddenly for 2 or 3 minutes again it becomes normal. we checked each and every connection some times we are getting 110 volts like that from earth to neutral again it is reducing we are getting supply from 45 kva DG set give earthing properly.
